I've been doing this a lonnnng time and still not quite ready to pack it in. I'm looking for any band that first of all realizes that at this point, this is an outlet for creativity. I doubt it's gonna be a career if ya know what I mean. But more importantly, a band that wants to challenge its audie\nce and make a sound that's still viable...regardless of its members' ages. No, I don't wanna be in a classic rock band, an oldies band, or anything where you want to sound exactly like the original recordings.
I've done studio work, arenas, bars, concert halls and even weddings (hey, I was drunk). I've got a few samples of my playing here...just some fragments of a few songs for the most part.
And if you're looking for someone who took about twenty minutes just to decide which "3 genres of music" to click on in that silly list above this, send a message. But most of all, if you're sick of being in cover band hell, it'll be good to know there's more than one of us.
